One of the recurring characters in the British sitcom 2point4 Children was a rival plumber to Ben called Jake Klinger, nicknamed Jake The Klingon, who was a hardened Trekkie (or Trekker as he insisted). The plot of his very first appearance involved him faking his death and Ben having to organize a Star Trek-themed funeral. Much to his chagrin, his wife Bill attended as Beverly Crusher despite Ben's insistence the funeral was "strictly old series".

In "The Head and the Hair", Liz Lemon compares a handsome guy's eyes to the tractor beam of the Death Star, at which point Jenna Maroney interrupts with ""No Liz, do not talk about stuff like that on your date. Guys like that do not like Star Trek", which Liz angrily corrects as ""Wars!".

Tracy Jordan is revealed to have grown up on the corner of 157th Street and Lieutenant Uhura Avenue (of New York). Note that this is apparently a real street, or rather a nickname for the real Convent Avenue. [1]

During the opening monologue of the 85th Annual Academy Awards, James T. Kirk broadcasts from the 23rd century--and on what looks like the Enterprise-A's bridge--to prevent host Seth MacFarlane from performing several skits that would cause him to receive poor reviews.

ALF (which stands for "Alien Life Form") is an ET stuck with an earth family in this US sitcom. ALF refers to Captain Kirk in Someone to Watch Over Me: Part 1, and also says ""Hey Scotty, beam me up!"" in The Boy Next Door episode. In Take a look at me Now, ALF says "Live long and Prosper" to Raquel; in Running Scared ALF records a "captain's log", and there are several other references to Star Trek in the series.

In this Nickelodeon comedy show, a frequent sketch, entitled USS Spaceship was a parody of Star Trek. It featured Captain Tantrum (Amanda Bynes), a child commander of the starship, who got her way by screaming and shouting. The crew encountered various comedic aliens, such as Crouton or the Queen of the Hoganoids, who mostly relented when Captain Tantrum screamed and cried.

HBO's 1993 remake of the B-movie classic (co-starring William Windom and Hamilton Camp). The last scene features Harry Archer (Daniel Baldwin) and two other husbands in a spaceship, wearing costumes reminiscent of the TOS uniforms.

The February 9, 2006 live episode of G4's Attack of the Show! aired a pre-recorded skit making a parody of Star Trek's mirror universe. Kevin Pereira left his office cubicle and walked towards the studio, passing along the way various people doing their jobs, one putting up a poster for a blood drive, and two others shredding papers. Pereira entered the empty sound stage and, looking for something to do, walked through the mysterious door on the back of the set and entered into a bending and wavering corridor, at the opposite end of which one can see an identical door. Kevin went through to the other end into a seemingly identical sound stage and headed back out to the hall where the same employees were toiling away. Only, now they were sporting goatees and carrying out various acts of violence, one employee shredding another's arm in the paper shredder, and another hammering a bloodied animal onto the wall.

The skit cut to what was presumably that day's later live broadcast. Sarah, Wil, and Brendan were all on the couch answering chat questions. Sarah asks Kevin's answer to a chatter's question regarding the PS3 versus the Xbox 360. Wil hands him a mace upon which he goes to torture the chatter in a segment dubbed "Fresh Blood," in contrast to the normal show's "Fresh Ink." That bit references the fact that they are really tired of receiving that question, as they have mentioned in many shows. Kevin begins to torture the man exclaiming, "This evil world rules!"

Later in the real show, a chatter asked Kevin if he found the bearded Sarah sexy. He said yes, claiming that the entire alternate dimension was hotter, trying to make a joke from the fact that he has a goatee in real life. Another chatter asked if Kevin got away with anything in the alternate universe. Kevin claimed he was able to double-dip at the craft service table. (This was even more humorous, as no G4 shows had any form of craft services, only a break room with various forms of free canned sodas.)

Another episode features the USS AOTS (Nebula-class, no registry number) being attacked by a B'Rel-class Bird-of-Prey. Kevin, Olivia, and two unnamed engineering personnel try to fend off the attack, eventually leading up to the Bird-of-Prey's captain (Wil in Klingon makeup) making demands for a graphic with obscene narration. Despite Kevin apparently being the captain of the USS AOTS, Olivia accepts the demands because she has motion sickness.

Despite the exterior shots depicting a ship whose class was not commissioned until 2357, the uniforms are those from 2265.

This Britcom was never picked up, but the pilot was released. In it, there is a scene in which two characters exchange insults in the form of expressions with the word "bitch" inserted in them. One of these is "Revenge is a bitch best served cold".

Its principal star Edward James Olmos' Hollywood Walk of Fame star is right next to Patrick Stewart's, amusingly having been invited to audition for the part of Jean-Luc Picard, before Stewart was ultimately cast for the role. [2] Olmos has been on record of being skeptical of the science fiction genre, particularly for its portrayal of aliens (and therefore declining the audition invitation), yet he was already in 1983 seriously considered for a role in Star Trek III: The Search for Spock, ironically for the part of the Klingon Kruge, on the express wish of Director Leonard Nimoy. Olmos only accepted his role in Battlestar when it became apparent to him that the series was to be primarily drama-driven and not to feature any "outlandish" life forms. (Battlestar Galactica: The Complete SeriesBlu-ray-special features, "Cast And Crew Take A Look Back", "The Last Frakkin Special")

USS Enterprise joining Battlestar Galactica's "Rag Tag Fleet" in the upper right, proceeded by the Astral Queen two places directly upfront, with the Gemenon Traveler in the most lower right corner

An official map of the Twelve Colonies [5] was released by Quantum Mechanix in 2011, drawn by Star Trek: Star Charts creator Geoffrey Mandel. Four systems are depicted, in a 2×2 grid, designated Helios Alpha through Delta. The four maps are ordered on the chart following the same unusual pattern as the four quadrants of the Star Trekgalaxy (i.e. clockwise from top left: Gamma, Delta, Beta, Alpha).

In the Caprica spin-off series finale, "Apotheosis", right before landing Daniel Graystone's personal airplane can be seen flying past a large building featuring a banner which (apart from a new color scheme) is identical to a banner previously seen in the conference hall for the IME conference on Dekendi III in ENT: "Stigma". The large overlap in VFX crew between the two series had more than likely something to do with this.

That subtle references to Star Trek were on occasion sneaked into the Battlestar Galactica franchise should not come as a surprise as Moore was an unadulterated "Trekkie". Nor was Moore the only production staffer on the franchise with a strong Star Trek pedigree, not by a long shot. The VFX department in particular was heavily manned with many former Star Trek production staffers. First and foremost there was Gary Hutzel who served as VFX supervisor, just like he had on Star Trek, but now serving right from the start in 2003 as the most senior VFX staffer, becoming Moore's right hand as far as the VFX were concerned, serving even longer than Moore had, as the latter left before the franchise finished its run in 2012. After Star Trekprime temporarily ceased its existence in 2005 with the demise of Star Trek: Enterprise, the VFX department was, after the first season of the 2004 series, substantially strengthened with additional "refugees" from the Star Trek franchise, Doug Drexler and David Takemura the most senior ones, they now serving as Hutzel's right hands. Already staffed with several former Foundation Imaging employees, Zoic Studios, the VFX house for Battlestar Galactica, became inundated with digital artist, who had moved over from Eden FX, the last VFX house to serve Star Trek prime. A far from exhaustive catalog of former Star Trek VFX staffers employed at Zoic, included such artists as Lee Stringer, Pierre Drolet, Adam Lebowitz, Gabriel Koerner, David R. Morton, to name but a few. Like they had done for Star Trek, these staffers helped the Battlestar Galactica franchise to a slew of VFX Emmy Award wins and nominations.

Moore has revealed that the first name of the "Kara Thrace" character from the revamped Battlestar Galactica was inspired by Kira. [6]

The second episode of the series refers to Star Trek. In addition, Sam Witwer is a regular on the show and plays the role of the vampire Aiden.

Episode 23 "Dream Reaper" a recurring character by the name of Zoe attempts to help Sally out of a dream she is trapped in, and enters through what she calls a Mind Meld, prompt Aiden to ask about it while showing the hand gesture.

In the episode "Lust in Translation", scientists Lem and Phil create a universal translator. In one scene, Ted's line "Greta, can we talk?" is translated into Klingon, and subtitled as "Human female! You will speak!"

Given Shatner's and Auberjonois' association with Star Trek, several Trek-related in-jokes have crept into the series. In addition, many actors (most having played aliens) who have guest-starred on Star Trek have popped up in guest roles. Trek regulars who have made appearances are Ethan Phillips, Jeri Ryan, Michelle Forbes, Scott Bakula and Armin Shimerman; two actors who make numerous appearances (both as judges) are Ron Canada and Henry Gibson, while Joanna Cassidy had a recurring role as Shatner's love interest. John Larroquette (the Klingon Maltz in ST III) joined the Boston Legal cast in Season 4, having previously played an attorney, Dan Fielding, on Night Court.

In this episode, Denny takes his friend and fellow attorney, Alan Shore (played by James Spader), to Nimmo Bay in Canada to get over a recent break-up. While staying the night in a cabin, Alan reads a book on sea lice and explains to Denny that the lice are called "cling-ons." Denny replies to this by asking "Did you say "Klingons?" The German translation of this episode is using a different wordplay in which Shore says "Dance on the ecological vulcan" and Denny replies "Did you say Vulcan?".

While dancing with his new wife Beverly (Joanna Cassidy), Denny met Troy, a friend of Beverly who is working as a realtor in Hawaii. Beverly proposed that the couple should have their first home on Hawaii and Denny replied "...and what should I do? Beam to Boston every day?".

In the fifth live show, Weapons Grade Y-Fronts Tour, Eddie Hitler's time-travelling toilet, the TURDIS, is allegedly powered by a dilithium crystal; after wasting time with a meaningless questionnaire, he claims that he was "waiting for the dilithium crystal to reach optimum temperature".

In a first season episode, Cory Matthews thinks that his teacher, Mr. Feeny, believes fellow classmate Stuart Minkus to be "the next Captain Kirkicard" (mistaking Søren Kierkegaard for both James Kirk and Jean-Luc Picard.) In a second season episode, when Cory is given an assignment to do a biography on a person, he claims his "more interesting" subject will be "Captain James T. Kirk of the USS Enterprise." When his teacher, Mr. Turner, protests, he claims that "Captain Kirk is a fictional character. The guy is sixty-three years old and wears a tribble on his head."

In "Danger Boy", Mr. Feeny is clearly heard shouting "Warp factor ten, Mr. Sulu!" as the car for the most dangerous roller coaster built departs the station.

In August 2013, the TV series Breaking Bad featured an extended conversation about Star Trek in the mid-season premiere, "Blood Money", of the show's fifth and final season. Characters Brandon "Badger" Mayhew and Skinny Pete (very stoned) discuss Star Trek, and Pete (while smoking from a bong) claims that every time a character uses the transporter, the original person is actually destroyed, and the transporter simply makes a perfect copy (a "color xerox") at the target location. This greatly disturbs Badger, who asks if this means there were something like 147 different Kirks during the run of the TV series, each of whom were killed and replaced by a duplicate when they used the transporter. Pete confirms this is exactly what he is saying, and cites that Dr. McCoy rarely uses the transporter because as a doctor, he knows what it actually does to people.

Badger and Pete go on discussing Star Trek, and Badger describes an idea for a Star Trek script which he has had for a long time. In his script, the crew's mission has been boring and uneventful for some time, so they decide to hold a pie-eating contest in the mess hall – "Tulaberry pies". Pete says that he doesn't know what tulaberries are, to which Badger responds "Tulaberries, from Gamma Quadrant, yo." Pete sharply interjects "That's Voyager, dude." Annoyed, Badger continues by saying, "Okay, blueberries. They're eating blueberry pie."

Badger goes on to explain that the pie-eating contest comes down to just Spock, Kirk, and Chekov. Pete thinks Kirk would have room to spare, but Badger insists that Spock is winning because of his heightened Vulcan metabolism. Kirk has to admit defeat, but the only other crewmember still in the contest besides Spock is Chekov. Ingeniously, Chekov and Scotty collaborated to rig the contest, so as soon as Chekov eats a pie Scotty uses the transporter to beam his stomach contents out into space, so he can eat an infinite amount of food. Spock is becoming very frustrated and doesn't understand how Chekov can keep eating. Unfortunately, Lt. Uhura then comes into engineering and Scotty, distracted by her "pointies," hits the wrong button, and suddenly Chekov is vomiting up blood – Scotty accidentally beamed his internal organs out into space as well.

Several names from Star Trek, most notably CaptainChristopher Pike, can be heard in "background dialog" (PA announcements, etc.) in several 1979 first season episodes.

In the first season two-part episode "The Plot to Kill a City", an "Aldebaran II spaceport" appeared, which was executed as a matte painting and created by future Star Trek Visual Effects Producer Dan Curry. The painting reappeared a short time later in the same season episode "Planet of the Amazon Women", co-written by former Original Series Producer DC Fontana, as the "Zantia spaceport". Later, Curry used his painting to create a slightly different version which was subsequently featured as the Relva VIIStarfleet Academy facility, seen in The Next Generationfirst season episode "Coming of Age", in effect becoming one of his very first contributions to the franchise.

In the season one episode "Prophecy Girl", Xander proclaims "I'm sorry, calm may work for Locutus of the Borg here, but I'm freaked out and I intend to stay that way."

In a season five episode, Xander also quotes James T. Kirk in saying "Kill us both, Spock" in a situation where he, like Kirk in "The Enemy Within", had been split into two beings.

In season six episode "Seeing Red", Willow and Tara explain to Buffy and Xander that they've deciphered all the documents from the "Stooges" (Warren Mears, Andrew Wells and Jonathan Levins) on everything except one document. Xander recognizes it as Klingon love poems.

Later, in the final season, after Xander has a bad date with a demon, he asks Willow to "gay him up." He starts talking about attempting to fantasize about Scott Bakula, who another character dreamily identifies as Jonathan Archer.

This Belgian tv series often parodied popular culture, including on a few occasions Star Trek. Already in the first episode, "de jongerenfoon", an on-the-scene reporter reporting from the moon ends his report by saying "beam me up, Scotty" and being beamed away.

The episode "Kitch en kunst" parodies the perceived tendency of Flemish films to focus on farmers according to one character by showing, among other genres, a bit from a film described as science fiction: It shows "farmer Spock" piloting a harvester, and coming upon giant potatoes, which he reports by communicator to "farmer Scotty".

The episode "Gevaar", features extended drug-induced hallucinations. At one point a character imagines herself to be Princess Leia from Star Wars, who is captured by Darth Vader aboard the Death Star, only to be rescued by an original series landing party including Mister Spock.

This German comedy show featured a regular sketch entitled "Unser (T)Raumschiff", which was a parody of the original Star Trek series, revolving around the misadventures of the starship Surprise, and its all gay crew, including Captain Kork, Mr. Spuck, Schrotti, etc. Its success led to the feature film spin-off (T)Raumschiff Surprise - Periode 1.

William Shatner plays the Ghost of Christmas Present in this 2003 TV movie adaptation of A Christmas Carol. Whenever he and the titular character move from one location to another, they use the transporter effect, as a homage to Shatner's role in Star Trek. James Cromwell plays the Ghost of Christmas Future.

A police series in which mystery novelist Richard Castle serves as permanent consultant to the NYPD, teamed up with detective Kate Beckett. Star Trek affiliated production connections; Series regular Penny Johnson. Robert Picardo and Michael Dorn in recurring roles, with Jonathan Frakes as an occasional director. Guest stars include Linda Park

Castle mentions Star Trek as an example of good sci-fi. He also speaks in William Shatner cadence when talking about real-world laser blasters. When sitting in the captain's chair on the Nebula 9 Fan Experience set (obviously patterned after the "Trekdom" phenomenon), he delivers Picard's "Let's make sure that history never forgets the name Enterprise" line from TNG: "Yesterday's Enterprise". Beckett also describes the Nebula 9 character Lieutenant Chloe in terms that make her similar to Jadzia Dax. Jonathan Frakes cameos at the beginning as a convention attendee getting Castle's autograph. The murderer also refers to a character in the show who was revived by an "Andorian empath".

Beckett and Castle investigate someone who worked with a top secret company that developed a personal cloaking device. They use fire extinguisher foam to flush out the character who is evading their capture while wearing it, like Kirk and Spock do to find a Gorn intruder. (Star Trek)

One of the sketches on Chappelle's Show involved a revelation that Jedi (from Star Wars) were molesting their Padawans. A Star Trek fan dressed like Spock expressed his belief that the fleet commanders of the Federation would never allow molestations to occur. However, before he can finish his thought, a Star Wars fan dressed like Darth Maul gives him a wedgie.

In the episode "Joke Overload", Captain Stern from the starship Navoa is admitted to the hospital from a "Starfleet event nearby" while being treated by Lieutenant D'Ghor Koru, a Klingon medical officer in a red uniform. Stern is eventually cured by a transducer unit implanted into his arm to fight the Borgtechovirus. Shortly after this, a moving comment by D'Ghor Koru leads to him and Dr. Lola Spratt having sex atop Captain Stern in the ER. Stern, Koru and Spratt eventually try to save two people who were impaled on the same flagpole using a phaser with its polarity reversed, which surprisingly works for a moment before both die. Stern and Koru then signal their starship for transport as the rest of the doctors walk out of the room.

In season 2 episode 7, there is a sketch of the "Starship Preposterous" which is clearly a parody of TOS. The Chaser team mocks the use of elaborate scientific names and the way in which the crew get themselves into and out of trouble. In the deleted scenes there are more sketches which never made it to air – including one where the crew ask why every alien they meet is 6 foot tall and bipedal.

In the forth season episode "The Flu", Clarissa imagines that she takes command of the Enterprise when the other crewmembers go ill. This short scene features a recreation of the TOS bridge complete with genuine TOS-era uniforms.

An extended comedy skit that opened this awards show (broadcast June 16, 2009) saw country singer Taylor Swift placed in several out-of-character circumstances, such as a rap video and the new Star Trek. In the latter, Swift was outfitted in a Starfleet uniform, given Vulcan ears, and digitally placed in Kirk's stead during the scene in the film where he and Scotty are brought to the bridge, giving evasive, sarcastic responses when ordered by Spock to answer his questions – when host Bill Engvall, also in uniform arrives on the bridge, she vaporizes him with her phaser.[7]

In February of 2008, Colbert honored Lieutenant Worf in his 3rd Annual Ethnic Minute, titled "African Chinese History New Year's Month Minute."

In an April 2009 edition of the show's "Better Know A District" segment (interviews with members of the U.S. Congress in which Colbert asks highly inappropriate questions, which, knowing the interview is satirical, are sometimes met with equally inappropriate answers), Colbert and New York congressman Dan Maffei, an acknowledged Trek fan, donned fake Mirror-Spock goatees for much of the interview, playfully attributing the questions, and answers such as "I enjoy cocaine", to their "evil twins". The segment also ended with Maffei giving Colbert a Vulcan salute.

In the May 9, 2013 episode, LeVar Burton gives his VISOR to Carey Mulligan so she can read The Great Gatsby. He later puts it on himself and is beamed up.

William Shatner was a roaster on the Comedy Central roast of Charlie Sheen, which aired on September 19, 2011, and several Star Trek-related jokes were made by, and directed at, him. It was hosted by Seth MacFarlane.

Comic Book Men is a reality television series set at Kevin Smith's New Jersey comic book store, Jay and Silent Bob's Secret Stash. Lots of collectibles are shown passing through the store, including, unsurprisingly, occasionally Star Trek merchandise.

The episode "Uhura’s Uhura" has Nichelle Nichols visiting the store to buy an Uhura Mego doll. She ends up reenacting her famous interracial kiss with store regular Brian Johnson.

The episode "The Esposito Collection" reveals that Mike considers Data one of his top two robots of all time. The same episode is signed off by Keven Smith saying "Live long and prosper, children."

In the episode "Sucka M.C.", a sub-mariner no1 comes up at the store, and Brian comments that he looks like Spock in a speedo.

A major portion of the epiosde "The Captain and the Clerk" is devoted to an interview of Kevin Smith with William Shatner. Many of his classic Star Trek performances are discussed, including the funeral of Spock, which Smith calls one of his favorite performances ever, and Kirk shouting "Khaaan", which he offers as an example illustrating his argument that Shatner is one of the most memorable actors of the last fifty years.

At the end of the episode "Hometown Heroes", Kevin Smith announces that just like a wrongheaded network executive back in the day, they'll have to "end this enterprise".

In the sixth special, a special segment was produced on the bridge and observation lounge sets from Star Trek: The Next Generation during the seventh season and guest-starred Jonathan Frakes, Brent Spiner, Gates McFadden, Michael Dorn, LeVar Burton, and Marina Sirtis as Commander Riker, Data, Dr. Crusher, Worf, Geordi La Forge, and Counselor Troi, respectively. In the segment, Data and La Forge beam back to the Enterprise after discovering some artifacts from 20th centuryEarth on a planet. The artifacts turn out to be a VHS cassette of a Comic Relief special and some articles of clothing ("TEE-shirts" and "SWEAT-shirts" as Data describes them), with Data explaining that the purpose of Comic Relief was to raise funds to fight homelessness in the United States. La Forge downloads the VHS tape into the Enterprise computer, revealing a still photograph of Comic Relief hosts Robin Williams, Billy Crystal, and Whoopi Goldberg; however, Data and the rest of the crew mistakenly refer to her as "Whoo-pie." While Worf ponders "what kind of name is 'Whoo-pie'?", Dr. Crusher notices that "Whoo-pie" looks an awful lot like Guinan. When she ponders if "Whoo-pie" and Guinan are one and the same, the entire crew replies with "Nahhhh." As Data explains what the shirts were for (they were given out to donors to the Comic Relief pledgers), La Forge laments that the 50/50 cotton/polyester blend that comprised the shirts didn't interact well with the transporter, causing them to singe. Troi asks how well the special did, and Data replies that the previous specials raised over twenty million dollars which went towards helping homeless people and that the mantra used by Comic Relief, which used humor throughout, was "Where there's laughter, there's hope".

Depicting the aftermath of the episode's "darkest timelime", Abed cuts out several brown felt goatees resembling the one bore by Spock in the mirror universe. After declaring his intentions to return to the prime timeline and kill the good versions of themselves, the rest of the group leaves, leaving Abed and Troy to don their goatees and dub themselves "Evil Troy and Evil Abed".

First appearance of "the Dreamatorium", a play room used by Abed Nadir and Troy Barnes. It looks exactly like the style of holodeck used on the USS Enterprise-D, and has a similar function in the series, except for the fact that there is no imaging technology, instead relying on the user's imagination.

Troy is given a universal translator at the start of the episode, before he goes to sail around the world with LeVar Burton: Abed tells him to "Engage" as he departs. During the credits, Troy reads a list of questions about TNG for LeVar, including "Why don't they call it 'Planet Trek'? You never go to a star, not one time."

In the episode of the British sitcom, "The Girl With Two Breasts", Steve uses Original Series metaphors to convince Jeff to talk to a girl, "Right Mr. Spock, put the Enterprise on red alert... Captain Kirk, it is time to shag the alien's girlfriend... Jeff, beam over". Not doing as Steve tells him but continuing the Star Trek conversation, Jeff then responds by saying "Do you remember when Captain Kirk would see a beautiful woman the screen would go all misty? I thought his eyes were steaming up because he was so excited. Every time I talked to a girl I tried to make my eyes steam up."

In "My Dinner in Hell", Mariella Frostrup can be heard talking about the cast of the Original Series during her live broadcast near the end of the episode.

In "The Melty Man Cometh", Jeff says "the engines cannee take it" while putting on a Scottish accent, an obvious impression of Montgomery Scott.

Reid challenges people to ask him about Star Trek episodes so that he can tell them the plot, identify the alien races in the episode, and quote Dr. McCoy. Hotch asks him to name the episode in which an alien entity named Sargon takes over Kirk's body. Reid not only names TOS: "Return to Tomorrow", but performs all the tasks he mentioned.

Lab Technician David Hodges has a cat named Kobayashi Maru, in reference to the famed scenario. As one of the guys is about to make the Star Trek reference, another guy cuts him off before he finishes, possibly because uttering the franchise would have raised legal issues with CSI's studio. He calls the cat "Mr. K" or "Kobe."

The team begins finding bodies that have green blood. While it is found that the victims had extremely high levels of sulfur in their systems which caused the green blood, Hodges and DNA tech Wendy Simms argue over the particulars of Vulcan blood. While Hodges believes it is sulfur that makes Vulcan blood green, Wendy corrects him, saying it is actually copper, revealing herself to be a Star Trek fan.

Written by former Star Trek: Deep Space Nine writers Naren Shankar, Bradley Thompson and David Weddle, contains a subplot about the remaking of an old science fiction program named "Astro Quest", leading to a murder on a science fiction convention. Hodges, while inspecting a corpse, addresses detective Jim Brass and says "He's dead Jim". He turns out to be a huge fan of "Astro Quest", along with his assistant, Wendy Simms. Hodges daydreams about the two of them being "Commander Bishop" and "Yeoman Malloy" from the show (an apparent spoof of CaptainKirk and YeomanRand). Another part of the episode parodies "The Gamesters of Triskelion" with Wendy spoofing Shahna, and another makes Wendy into an Orion slave girl analogue from "The Cage". The title itself is a parody of the classic title 2001:A Space Odyssey while "Astro Quest" is both a parody of Galaxy Quest and Star Trek (Astro is a synonym for Star while Quest is a synonym for Trek). The subplot, about a young director/producer remaking an old series with a brand new concept, angering fans is a direct reference/parody of the backlash Ronald D. Moore (who cameos as the first person to denounce the remake) experienced when remaking Battlestar Galactica.

A seemingly mob-related murder occurs. Investigation by Horatio and the team leads them to a pair of film students who are writing a screenplay which describes the crime exactly as it occurred. Those students hence become suspects. In a scene during which the two are working on their script, they discuss a character who has the line "Today is a good day to die," a reference to the timeless Klingon saying. One of the boys then suggested that that character be black, referring to Worf, played by Michael Dorn. Delko later mentions how the two have used every cliché in the book.

The investigators confront a suspect at a Halloween party in Klingon makeup who talks to them in Klingonese. One of the investigators translates and when his associates look at him funny indicates he learned it years ago.

A guy is killed during a festival. They go to his home and the refrigerator appears to be full of alcohol where one of the detectives says "Our victim looks like he was on some sort of Star Trek diet, you know, the kind where people have evolved past needing to eat real food."

In the episode "Escape from With Island", Dawson explains that there must be a logical explanation to the events that happening on the island to which his friend, Pacey Witter (played by Joshua Jackson), retorts with "well why don't you send us a postcard, Spock, because I, for one, am not sticking around to find out."

A sketch on the television version of the British show Dead Ringers featured a sketch wherein Christopher Eccleston, then recently cast as the title character in the Doctor Who revival, goes home to tell the news to his parents. However, his parents are revealed to be fanatical Trekkies, and as such deeply disappointed.

In this sixth season episode, Felicity Huffman's character Lynette Scavo describes the friends of her son while talking about sex with him, "First of all, we've seen your friends and trust me, Pimpo, Braces and Beam me up Scotty are not gettin' any."

When the police are examining a letter the "Bay Harbor Butcher" sent to the local paper, Angel Batista picks out the quote "You can't depend on your eyes, when your imagination is out of focus", to which Vince Masuka laughs and says "He's a Trekker, that shit's straight from Deep Space Nine." Angel corrects him, saying it's a Mark Twain quote, to which another cop responds, "Twain was never on Deep Space Nine, he was on Next Generation."

On the television show Diagnosis: Murder, there have been at least two major parodies/major references to Star Trek. The first was in the episode "Alienated", in which case one of the main characters, Jesse Travis, believes he was abducted by aliens. He is then pursued by a local top-secret government agency official (played by George Takei) he is sure he is on to something. When he goes to a support group for people who have had encounters (led by a character played by Majel Barrett, also featuring a character played by Grace Lee Whitney), he meets another fanatic, who is sure the government is after the two of them (played by Walter Koenig) Also featured in the episode is Wil Wheaton, who plays the character of Gary Barton, and Bill Mumy as Parker Craddick.

In the 1996 episode "Murder by the Book", after Jeri Ryan had joined the cast of Star Trek: Voyager, she played murder suspect Melissa Barnes. At the end of the episode, she is present at the marriage of a main character over the radio waves, to the character's husband in the Navy serving aboard the aircraft carrier USS Enterprise (CVN-65), which to get over static, the characters all scream loudly "ENTERPRISE!".

In the two part episodes, "The Public Eye" and "The Left Hand" Topher Brink invents a portable device that will cause an active to fall unconscious. Topher names the device a disruptor and makes a direct reference to Star Trek and the origins behind the name.

In the episode titled "Stop-Loss", Anthony Ceccoli is released from his contract at the L.A. Dollhouse and is shortly thereafter forcibly recruited into a secret military operation, where the operatives are implanted with a chip that allows everyone to share a hive mind, as well as to see through one another's eyes.

The Drew Carey Show's 2001's April Fools Day episode, which contained many intentional errors featured Gabriel Koerner. During later re-broadcast, arrows were used to point out these intentional "mistakes." Gabe is supposed to be wearing a red Star Trek shirt.

The deceased character Bradley Branning was a Star Trek fan. A DS9 DVD was frequently seen as a prop in his house and his ringtone was that of the Star Trek: The Original Series theme. A suite from Star Trek Nemesis was played at his funeral and other characters commented that a cake Billy Mitchell gets, iced with the words "Beam me up!", is in bad taste for the wake. When reminiscing about his dead son, Max suggested remembering him by wearing Star Trek costumes and making "some speech about the Final Frontier".

Ally, Ray's daughter, is visited by her uncle Robert, who is dressed as Santa Claus. When she pulls his fake beard off, Robert tries to salvage the situation by saying that he "assumed the body of a life form that...you would accept.", to which Ray quips, "Robert you're Santa. Not a Klingon.", which is also a variant on the I'm a doctor, not a... snowclone.

An Anglo-American co-production, in which famous actors and celebrities make cameo appearances. It revolves around the lives of two extras who bump into these people during the course of their work. Each episode is named after the main cameo.

In the Patrick Stewart episode, Andy Millman (played by Ricky Gervais) meets Stewart, playing a parody of himself who is trying to get a self-penned film produced which basically involves him going around seeing women naked. After Millman fails to recognize Stewart's "Make it so" quote having never seen The Next Generation, Stewart assumes that Millman's partner didn't let him watch it. When Millman replies that he is in fact single, Stewart says to him "You're not married, you haven't got a girlfriend... and you've never watched Star Trek?". Millman passes on a sitcom script to Patrick Stewart, whose company, called Picard Productions passes it on to the BBC (after Millman falsely promises to rewrite it to include naked women, at Stewart's request), which ensures Andy's sitcom success in season 2. In the Sir Ian McKellen episode, Millman also mentions his encounter with Patrick Stewart.

In 2005, Stewart received an Emmy Award nomination for appearing in this show. He had stepped in when Jude Law pulled out of the show to appear in Alfie.

In the fifth season episode entitled "Money Out the Window", a loan shark who is owed money by Eddie and Steve introduces himself as "Bones." Steve asks him "as in the doctor on Star Trek?" to which Bones replies, "No. Bones, as in 'I break them.'"

Farscape contains numerous references to Star Trek. The show's lead character, John Crichton, is a self-acknowledged sci-fi fan. As the sole Human on the crew, none of his crewmates ever get the references.

This episode was a mix of animation and live action, in which a cartoon D'Argo finds himself plastered to the front of the deflector dish of the USS Enterprise as it flies through space, at which point a Scotty-like voice notes that they've hit something. Later, Crichton compares himself to James T. Kirk, to which another character responds, "That was a television show, John. And he did Priceline commercials!"

In this episode Crichton faces off against a group of pirates/scavengers. At one point he challenges them by shouting the phrase "Get the hell off of my ship!" in Klingon (the phrase was created using the actual Klingon language created by Marc Okrand). He remarks afterwards that the "translator microbes" (Farscape's equivalent of the universal translator) couldn't handle Klingon. He later also refers to the raiders as Klingon (and they do physically resemble Klingons).

Produced by Paramount Television, the sitcom Frasier was a direct spin-off of the hugely successful Cheers sitcom – featuring Kirstie Alley as member of the principal cast in later seasons – , also produced by Paramount. The series was based upon one of its progenitor's principal characters, Frasier, already played by Grammer, with most of the others – including Neuwirth but excluding Alley – later making guest appearances in Frasier as their Cheers alter egos. Frasier has rivaled its progenitor in acclaim, popularity, and success. Cheers itself was considered one of the greatest triumphs of Brandon Tartikoff, then head of NBC, the network that aired both Cheers and its spin-off. Incidentally, Tartikoff declined purchasing The Next Generation for his network, which had aired The Original Series back in the 1960s, but once head of Paramount Pictures, also became directly responsible for the inception of not only Frasier, but of both Deep Space Nine and the Next Generation movie series as well. Rick Berman, before he became the head of the Star Trekfranchise, had been the main executive, responsible for studio production oversight of Cheers. Her role in Cheers has propelled Alley to stardom, and was often cited as the reason why she has never reprised her role as Saavik in Star Trek. (see article background for particulars)

After Frasier overdoses on medication to combat his flu, in his delirium, he goes down to the KACL radio station and locks himself inside the broadcast booth to continue hosting his show. His producer, Roz Doyle, calls security to come and fetch him, claiming "Captain Kirk's got control of the bridge and he's gone insane!"

Frasier and Niles support a candidate for Congress only to later learn that he believes he was once abducted by aliens. After deciding that it was probably a one-time incident brought on by stress, the brothers agree to continue supporting him. Frasier says the candidate still needs to seek professional help and asks Niles whether he'd treat him. Niles responds "I'm a doctor, not a miracle worker."

KACL's resident Star Trek fanatic Noel Shempsky (played by Star Trek: Voyager guest actor Patrick Kerr), who keeps an autographed photo of Captain Kirk in his cubicle, seeks Frasier's support on a petition to the producers of Star Trek suggesting a new character: "the all powerful space vixen Rozalinda, four-breasted queen of the planet Rozniak." Frasier signs the petition, much to the chagrin of Roz.

At the end of the fifth season, Frasier inadvertently got all of his colleagues fired as the owner dropped the talk format and went to Salsa. Noel Shempsky remained at the station as he spoke fluent Spanish. On his return, Frasier asks how he's doing and Noel replies that he's still working on his English-Klingon dictionary. Frasier then asks how do you say "goodbye" in Klingonese (Krish-Krush) which Noel doesn't initially pick up the subtle hint. Frasier upsets Roz and in order to make amends, he changes his pompous, ego-centric return speech into one extolling Roz's virtues. Noel discovers the switch and begins reading from it to which Frasier angrily yells "Krish-Krush, Noel, Krish-Krush."

Frasier seeks Noel's help to learn Hebrew to speak at his son Frederick's bar mitzvah. Noel agrees, only if Frasier can obtain for him Scott Bakula's autograph at a nearby Star Trek convention (one he cannot attend personally due to William Shatner's presence and Shatner's restraining order against him). Frasier, however, is unable to fulfill Noel's request. Out of revenge, Noel instructs Frasier in the Klingon language, which he claims is Hebrew. He later learns that Frasier did obtain one of Joan Collins' wigs from TOS: "The City on the Edge of Forever" for him, and is greatly moved, but too late to catch Frasier and admit his revenge plan. Frasier delivers his speech at Frederick's bar mitzvah in Klingon, much to everyone's embarrassment, except for a Trekkie friend of Frederick's who later translates the speech from Klingon to English for Frasier's son, noting it's much more beautiful "in the original Klingon." This is a parody of ChancellorGorkon's line "You have never experienced Shakespeare until you have read him in the original Klingon," from Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country.

While Lilith travels on an airplane to visit Frasier in Seattle, she sits next to a man, Albert, (played by Brent Spiner) whom she describes as "white as a sheet." The man replies "actually, I'm always this pale." As Data, Spiner's makeup required him to have a pale skin complexion.

Frasier finds one of his childhood heroes, Jackson Hedley, at a sci-fi convention he attends to buy comic books for his son, Frederick. Hedley, a former Shakespearean actor, has been making a living on the convention circuit ever since he was cast in the television show Space Patrol. Frasier and Niles decide to produce a show, and cast Hedley, hoping that he will be able to restart his career. They soon discover that Hedley is a talentless ham, only they couldn't see it when they were children.

While at the convention, Frasier asks a man dressed as a Klingon for help finding the comic books and thanks him by saying "You're a fierce but helpful people." Roz also runs into Noel and a friend of his; they're both wearing Original Series-era Starfleet uniforms.

Although not an episode of Frasier, the principal cast of Frasier participated in a live onstage sketch on the occasion of an official Star Trek 30th Anniversary studio celebration, where they were "recreating their audition" for Voyager, although the actors (David Hyde Pierce, John Mahoney (complete with easy chair and beer can), Jane Leeves, Peri Gilpin, and Moose the dog) were in-character as their Frasier persona, being dressed in Starfleet uniforms notwithstanding. Absent from the sketch were principal cast regular Kelsey Grammer and supporting cast regular Dan Butler, both of whom having played other characters on The Next Generation and Voyager, respectively.

The sketch had Captain Janeway (Kate Mulgrew) trying to command Voyager with these "wacky crewmembers." However, trouble begins when Roz won't stop talking to an Aldebarian that she is going to have a date with which prompts Niles to quip: "Sounds like this Aldebarian is about to boldly go where so many have gone before." Then, an alien message cannot be received after First Officer Niles engages a banality filter which keeps Voyager from being bothered by any messages that are "overly insipid or jejune." When Captain Janeway orders him to disengage it, he laments that he can't even "get my phaser to stop flashing twelve o'clock." Lieutenant Daphne suggests using her alien telepathic powers to communicate with the alien ship, but Janeway claims that she's not from another planet, she's just from England. When she uses her psychic abilities, she finds a strong sense of the aliens expressing a desire to breed with the Voyager crew, but quickly realizes that she's actually sensing Niles. A Klingon enters the bridge from the turbolift with Eddie, Martin's dog, and complains he was found on the Klingon homeworld digging up azalea bushes after the Klingons just finished landscaping. Martin offers him a strip of latinum which appeases the Klingon, but claims if Eddie does it again, the Klingons will destroy the Federation, to which Janeway claims "that sounds reasonable." Ultimately, the crew's bickering annoys Janeway to the point that she activates Voyager's auto-destruct sequence and destroys the ship.

In the pilot, Neal Schweiber asks permission to sit at a lunch table with two other geeks by impersonating captain Kirk, addressing them as Bones and Spock, and asking them if he could join them in the Enterprise mess room because he's so hungry he could eat a tribble. When Bill doesn't get it, he sarcastically claims he's impersonating John Wayne.

In "Tests and Breasts" a sex ed teacher is able to deduce that an anonymously submitted question comes from Sam because he's the only one with Star Trek notebook paper.

Ross shows the gang the sonogram of his child, and the group makes jokes while trying to decipher the image. Joey asks, "What are we supposed to be seeing here?" to which Chandler replies, "I don't know, but I think it's about to attack the Enterprise."

During calling the printer company's hotline, Chandler gets angry, because he notices they watch Star Trek in the background. Later during the call he is told that Spock is hugging his father (something which never happened in the show.

Chandler tells Ross that an incident involving Phoebe's boyfriend is a no-win scenario. He calls the situation the Kiryat Moriah. Ross informs him that the no-win scenario is actually called the Kobayashi Maru, and that the Kiryat Moriah was the name of hotel they stayed in when traveling in Israel.

Rachel is trying to make Ross angry by saying things he doesn't agree with. She says "I do think Kirk was smarter than Spock". Ross pretends not to be angry and leaves, and then Chandler turns to Rachel and asks "You were kidding about the Kirk/Spock thing though, right?"

Chandler and Joey are trying to open a closet in Monica's apartment to find out what is inside it. There is a moment when Chandler shouts in an over-the-top manner, "There's got to be a way!", to which Joey replies "Easy there, Captain Kirk".

In this '90s Australian TV sketch show, there is a parody of The Next Generation with Eric Bana playing Worf (with a crab on his forehead). This was before Bana's film stardom and appearance in 2009's Star Trek.

In the second season episode "The Ins and Outs of Inns", Lorelai and Rory discover that Luke was a Trekkie in high school, and keep on teasing him with several Star Trek references. Later Rory says her mother is one "beam me up Scotty" reference away from being the victim of one, referring to a murder.

In fourth season's "In the Clamor and the Clangor", Rory and Lorelai discuss William Shatner and his role as Captain Kirk.

In the sixth season episode "The Real Paul Anka", April asks Luke, if he had never seen the original Star Trek series.

Also in the sixth season, in "The UnGraduate", Lorelai says she needs dilithium crystals to repair the warp drive in her Jeep.

Still in the sixth season, in "I'm OK, You're OK", Lorelai tells Kirk to take his dippy Star Trek device and go.

In seventh season's "The Long Morrow", Lorelai mentions that "Space is the final frontier."

Season 7, episode 3 titled "Monster Deals" features a man at the pawn shop to sell some Star Trek merchandise. Some examples include models of the Enterprise (NX-01) and USS Voyager.

When Lucy Carter comes into the Unique Employment Agency's office and sees EXMO III (a large computer that her brother-in-law and boss Harry has rented to replace her), she asks him, "What's this, a leftover from Star Trek?"

Heroes is a science fiction series on NBC about ordinary Humans who discover they have extraordinary powers. In addition to casting Star Trek alumni (like George Takei, Nichelle Nichols, Dominic Keating, Michael Dorn, Malcolm McDowell, and Zachary Quinto), Heroes makes many references to Star Trek. In particular, Hiro Nakamura, a Japanese character who can bend space and time, is an admitted Star Trek fan and often equates his power to events that take place on Star Trek.

Hiro describes his power to bend space and teleport. His friend Ando Masahashi sarcastically says that it's "like Star Trek". Ando says that Hiro's "powers beyond any mere mortal" are like Spock's. He then suggests that Hiro use his Vulcan death grip when he is dragged back to his desk by his boss. Later, Hiro expresses his desire to "boldly go where no man has gone before". Ando mocks, "Beam us up, Scotty!".

A prophetic comic book, "9th Wonders!", Issue #14, depicts Star Trek-related conversation Hiro and Ando had previously. Later, when Hiro inexplicably finds himself having teleported from Tokyo to New York City, he explains his himself by comparing his abilities to Star Trek's transporters. He punctuates his explanation with the Vulcan salute.

Hiro and Ando are told to find "Matt Parkman" (played by Greg Grunberg). When they find a baby with the same name, Hiro and Ando wonder how such a thing could have occurred. Hiro explains that on The Next Generation, a transporter accident caused something similar to happen ("Rascals").

In chapter 7 of the online iStory "The Agent", Anna Korolenko calls Rachel Mills "Scotty" and tells her to take her up. Rachel replies that the line is "Beam me up, Scotty" and then teleports Anna and herself.

In this short-lived 1995 BBC sitcom about the staff of a fictional airline, the character of Captain Hilary Duff (the name is a coincidence: the actress-singer of that name did not rise to fame until some years later) is portrayed as a fantasist, who at one point in the pilot episode appears to believe he is actually inStar Trek, claiming to pilot the Enterprise and telling people to "live long and prosper". In one of the show's surrealist touches, at the end of one scene he actually beams out of the staff lounge, seen by the viewer but not by the other characters who are nonplussed to turn around and find him gone.

In the 1996-1997 sci-fi series spoof Homeboys in Outer Space, guest stars were Ethan Phillips, James Doohan, and George Takei. Doohan played a recurring role as a Montgomery Scott analogue called Pippen (presumably a play on the name of basketball player Scotty Pippen).

Former calypso singer and Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan (played by Damon Wayans) boards the Enterprise to liberate the ship's crew from their Anglo-Saxon captain (played by Jim Carrey). When the desperate Kirk pleads with science officerSpock, "What are we going to do?", the Vulcan responds "What do you mean... we?... Caucazoid?" Spock reminds the captain that, as a Vulcan, he is the strongest and most intelligent member of the crew, yet is still second in command. "...and I'm a better director than you." Then Kirk grabs a type 1 phaser and tries to kill Farrakhan but fails, so Kirk screams, "FARRAKHAN!!"

An aging crew of the Enterprise escapes from a retirement home only to be lured back by the promise of tapioca pudding and bingo. Highlights include Sulu leaving the Enterprise's left blinker on since Rigel V and crashing the ship into an asteroid, which knocks Captain Kirk's hairpiece off. When Sulu detects a deadly gas coming from engineering, Scotty hails the bridge and claims he's "lost all control of (his) bowels", to which Kirk reminds him that he should be wearing his "Starfleet Depends." Later, Spock reminds Kirk that he is approaching pon farr and remarks "you're looking pretty good to me." After Spock has "fallen and can't get up", Bones comes to the bridge, wheeling in a wheelchair, degenerated to a skeleton complaining "I'm a corpse, not a doctor!"

In one of the episode epilogues, Kenan opens a communicator, and utters "Beam me up, Scotty", to which both he and the terrified Kel make their exit from the stage, via dematerializing with the transporter effect.

A slightly-malfunctioning KITT uses a sonic stunning pulse on James Doohan, much to Michael's chagrin. Michael goes to the actor's aid, telling KITT that he "pulsed Scotty" while a supposedly disoriented Doohan weakly mumbles Scott-esque technobabble.

As a note of interest, one of the characters says Doohan played Scotty "in The Original Series and all ten movies". In the real-life year of 2000 there were only nine Star Trek movies released, and Doohan only appeared in seven of them.

A sketch featured "Triumph, the insult-comic dog" interviewing Star Wars fans lined up for the opening of "Attack of the Clones". The bit climaxed with a man dressed as Spock giving the fans an alternate version of the Vulcan salute.

In another sketch, in which O'Brien attempted to combat another network's plan for a big October event, one of the promotions suggested is Spock-tober, in which the same character as the Triumph sketch appeared on the show. The Spock character has appeared as a throw-away joke on several other occasions.

This Kafkaesque Flemish program featured a regular sketch, "Wally in Space". It was an absurd parody of the original series set on a ship captained by Belgian singer Eddy Wally, a Liberace-like cult figure.

Hardison wants to use Trek movies as intercom codes, with the odd-numbered ones meaning "all's well" and the even-numbered ones meaning "there's a problem," eventually using "Doctor Wrath O'Khan" as a warning to Eliot.

After looking in the paper, they discover that a gay Trekkies group is meeting right there, right now. Three men are dressed as Spock, Uhura and possibly Kirk. Myfanwy says that Daffyd likes Star Trek, to which he replies "Well I don't like Deep Space Nine." Daffyd then doubts the Trekkie men are gay but one of them says "He was hung like a Klingon!" Annoyed that there are other gay men there, Daffyd tells them that Myfanwy wants them to leave and they storm out.

During a flashback, Jack Shephard confides in his father before his wedding that he is having difficulty writing his vows, to which Christian Shephard responds with "you're a doctor, not a writer." This is a reference to the famous catch phrase of Doctor Leonard H. McCoy.

Mad Men is a series set in the 1960s, reaching the 1966first season of Star Trek in its fifth season. One fifth season episode, "Christmas Waltz", features the character Paul Kinsey who has fallen on hard times and has his hopes pinned on a Star Trek spec script called "The Negron Complex". He gets in touch with his former colleague Harry Crane, who is a media buyer and thus could slip the script to NBC, or even mister Roddenberry himself. Although the script is said to be very bad, Kinsey thinks it would be good enough to open season 2. Crane however doubts that a second season will even be made.

Interestingly, the premise featuring a race of Negrons who are enslaved to pick cotton for a race called the Caucasons, the twist being that the Negrons are white, is very similar to an actual story idea proposed in Star Trek is....

In this season 3 episode, Al Bundy takes a second job at a fast food restaurant called "Burger Trek", whose theme centers around the original Star Trek series, complete with TOS-inspired uniforms (which has a burger speared by a rocketship) worn by employees, the manager (played by Pauly Shore) being referred to as the captain, Al Bundy being called "Crewman Bundy" and the cashier area being referred to as the bridge. Al is expected to say "woosh" everytime he sends the burgers down to the cashier area. His manager also reminds him of the mission they have to accomplish, which is "to go where no burger has gone before". Another announcement asks that "the crewman who overflowed the toilet please report to the bridge".

Al tries to sell an idea for a television series called "Shoe Trek", about "a shoe salesman in the 23rd century", to a producer, but he's turned down. Later he sees the show on TV (with a character named Mr. Sock), realizing they stole his idea.

In this British sitcom, the entire episode of "Watching TV" takes place as Gary, Tony, Dorothy and Deb are sitting in the lounge watching an episode of Star Trek. Although the title is not mentioned, it is obvious from their descriptions the episode is TOS: "The City on the Edge of Forever".

As a fan of the series, Gary is keen to point out its classic status, stating that it is as fresh as it always has been, and that it has taught an entire generation about science, the Klingon language and how a crew of different nations can work together, "especially when there's no bloody Italians."

As she is unfamiliar with the series, Deb often asks questions, and has to be corrected when she calls Spock, Spong.

Gary also mentions when he was a child that he believed the captain's log was a real wooden log he kept iin his office, to the amusement of Dorothy and Deborah.

Tony also asks questions, but of a more irrelevant nature, such as how they clean the windscreen (referring to the viewscreen), if Kirk has a glove compartment, and whether the bridge crew swivel their chairs when no one is looking. He and Gary also do a duet impression of the door 'swoosh'.

At the end of the episode Tony flips open the TV remote in the style of a communicator, says "beam us up, Scotty" and all four disappear with a transporter effect.

One sketch of the second season episode "The Biggest failure in Broadway history" features an iguana called Sulu, who while not explicitly linked to the Star Trek character, is the last in a long series of pets named after science fiction characters)

The episode "Marked Twain", featured William Shatner as the titular author. He mentions having been a riverboat captain at one point (which the author was), and references something about non-interference with one's way of life.

Later in the same season, in the episode "Barenaked Ladies", a factory owner is named James Kirkham.

In episode 1.06, "The Party's Over", when Tyler tells Mrs. Raven that Janet is going out with the superhero Thermoman, Mrs. Raven sarcasticaly remarks "and i'm shacking up with Captain Kirk".

In the December 28, 2009 episode "Mini Myth Mayhem", the second team tested if Kirk's hastily fashioned gunpowder and bamboo cannon from the TOS episode "Arena" was feasible. After testing, the result of "Gorn Cannon," as they dubbed the myth, was "Busted." The bamboo wasn't strong enough to contain the explosion, and 32 experimental formulations with the raw ingredients (as Kirk had found on the asteroid) failed to yield the commercial grade gunpowder that was needed for the proper explosive force. Even with the Bamboo reinforced at the bottom and using commercial grade powder, bamboo still shattered, "killing" their Kirk stand-in dummy (whom the team dressed in a red shirt). The Gorn cutout, staged at a similar distance to the event, was only grazed.

McGee can speak some Klingonese, after the NCIS team gatecrash a Halloween party, where one of the suspects is dressed up as a Klingon. The man in costume was able to say "your mother has a smooth forehead", and "Klingons don't surrender", both in Klingon, and brandish a toy bat'leth, before team leader Jethro Gibbs tackles him. Later, upon seeing the suspect unnerved by Gibbs' silent "interrogation", DiNozzo says, "(Is) General Kang crying or is that just sweat?", to which McGee, after 30 minutes alone with Gibbs, "even Klingons have their limits"; discussing the case itself, DiNozzo tells McGee that, "According to six people, Worf here was at the party when the little girl was kidnapped." After questioning, DiNozzo attempts to tell his boss that the man was clearly not the kidnapper, and Gibbs responds, "Of course not. Ever read a Klingon's face?...It ain't that easy."

Ellie Bishop goes through a no-win test when participating in joint training exercises between NCIS and the Coast Guard; McGee mentions Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan and the Kobayashi Maru scenario to her when she's upset about failing, also mentioning in passing that their direct boss, Gibbs, had passed the test. In order to understand where she did go wrong, the slightly empathetically challenged Bishop subsequently reviews Wrath of Khan and afterward makes a faux pas by assuming that Gibbs (who, unbeknownst to her, is standing right behind her), like Captain Kirk, had cheated on the test.

Callen locks himself in a room where a potentially lethal virus has been released, to protect his coworkers. Two weeks later, he wakes up to find himself recovering in a CDC hospital room after being given an antidote. This parallels Kirk's sacrifice and two-week unconscious period in Star Trek Into Darkness.

Sebastian describes a fragmented bullet as "Enterprise at the end of Search for Spock" shattered," then clarifies by saying that "like at the end of Voyage Home, I was able to reconstruct one of the bullets just enough to analyze it." When he tries to explain why the bullets aren't in the ballistics database, he's told "As long as the answer doesn't include another Star Trek reference."

Jim has watched Star Trek on his iPad on a plane, which his partner Maggie confuses for Star Wars. Jim remarks that both are excellent examples of genius, though different in every way. Later in the episode, he is again seen watching Star Trek: The Original Series on his iPad.

In a deleted scene from the second season episode "Christmas Party", Regional Manager Michael Scott speaks of his employees as various North Pole figures, but when he gets to Dwight Schrute, dressed for the occasion with the green hat and pointed ears of an elf, he says that Dwight "looks like Spock to me" – which annoys Dwight to no end, since he has another, correct set of ears for Spock at home.

While the Trek connection is not mentioned, in the second season finale, "Casino Night", Darryl Philbin, the African-American warehouse manager who often amuses himself by introducing a gullible Michael to comically inaccurate representations of black culture, teaches him an elaborate "ghetto" handshake, part of which involves putting making a Vulcan salute and connecting their hands in the open space between the middle and ring fingers.

In the fifth season episode "Business Ethics", after Dwight claims to "never" take personal time during work hours, Jim Halpert, his supervisor/tormentor, and Andy Bernard, the co-worker he can't stand, have a conversation in which, among other things, they claim Klingons (like Wookiees) are a race in Dwight's beloved Battlestar Galactica (as well as calling Ronald D. Moore's "re-imaginined" series a "shot-for-shot remake" of the original), daring Dwight to intervene, which would not be work-related and prove him wrong.

In "WAC Pack" Red (played by Kate Mulgrew) uses her political power to install someone to the Woman's Advisory Council over Nicky. Nicky, who views Red as her true mother, complains that she thought she was Red's right hand woman. "I thought I was your Spock." In a later episode, Red admits that she trusts Nicky more than any other woman at the prison.

In the sixth season episode "Down to Earth", set at a UFO convention, a character tells another UFO believer that aliens can "liquidate you faster than you could say Ceti Alpha V". Later in the episode, the same man uses the Vulcan nerve pinch on another character.

In the third season episode 'Summer of '92', there is a scene at a swap meet where Jerry is trying to sell a model of the starshipEnterprise from Star Trek: The Motion Picture to a potential buyer played by Michael Dorn, who asks (in Worf's voice): "How do I know those are the authentic photon torpedo tubes?"

In the fourth season episode "Holiday", Jez calls Mark Scotty, and tells him to engage warp factor three. Mark's inner monologue then considers Jez to be "cross breeding with aliens" while he is "down with the probably cancer causing engines".

In the sixth season episode "Das Boot", Mark sarcastically asks his wife if she's decided to name their child Spock among other weird names.

In "Just Desserts", when Larry suggests that selling Balki's bibi-bobkas could prove to be a good venture in American free enterprise, Balki misinterprets him by asking if he'll get to meet Captain Kirk and Scotty, to which Larry corrects him by saying "No, Balki, that's the starshipEnterprise."

In "Car Tunes", when Balki and Larry hide in Larry's car trunk to try and find out who's been stealing his car stereo, the car begins to move with them trapped inside and running out of air, leading Balki to describe his plan to escape, having seen it in TOS: "Day of the Dove" where the Klingons seize control of the life support system of the Enterprise leading Captain Kirk to tell Scotty "you've got to get us out here!" with Scotty replying "I can't give you any more power! We're out of dilithium crystals!" and Dr. McCoy griping "Dammit, Jim, I'm a doctor, not a machine!"

When creating the sixth season of Power Rangers, the writers decided to create an intergalatic series that would close the first six seasons of the show. The decision to make a space show was finalized after seeing sketches of Denji Sentai Megaranger (the Japanese show that Power Rangers in Space was loosely based off of) of spaceships and the rangers riding surfboards in space. However, the staff later learned that while Megaranger had space vehicles, in reality, the show never left Earth. The writers decided to proceed with the space angle anyway, and this is reflected in some of the show's dialogue and the sets, some of which (especially the bridge of the ranger's Astro Megaship) are clearly inspired by Star Trek. The show even featured a "simu-deck" that in one episode suffered a breakdown as well as food synthesizers that functioned very similar to a replicator.

During the 12th season premiere (which aired on September 12, 1983), one of the showcases dealt with archeologists of the future discovering long-lost prizes from The Price is Right showcases buried underground, complete with the theme from Star Trek: The Motion Picture playing over several prize descriptions.

A 33rd season showcase entitled "Star Schlep" dealt with an incompetent crew of models (in TNG era uniforms) trying to pilot their ship while encountering prizes along the way.

Shawn and Gus investigate a crime at a comic book convention. In order to enter the convention without tickets, they pose as George Takei's assistants. Takei appears as himself – he is initially confused by the strangers who claim to know him, but is soon convinced by their story and their promise to bring him fresh blueberries. Gus, an admitted Trek fan, salivates over the prospect of spending time with one of his idols. Shawn, however, has only a fleeting knowledge of Takei, never quite getting the name Sulu correct, and mistaking basic Trek facts.

A reference to Star Trek: The Motion Picture is made, which begins with Shawn and Gus watching an American Idol-like reality show called American Duos. Attempting to convince Shawn that Duos is not simply a copy-cat show, Gus states that, on Duos, two people sing at the same time and they must be in sync with each other – to become one with each other, "like V'Ger and Stephen Collins in Star Trek I."

Sam Beckett leaps into the body of an elderly man who encounters a UFO. While Al tries to get Sam to stop obsessing over the sighting he says the following quote, "A little reading? About flying saucers and little aliens and Beam Me Up, Scotty?"

In Episode 2 of the first season, a geeky character is approached by someone saying "beam me up, Scotty. Klingons on the starboard bow, that's your thing, innit?" (apparently referencing the song Star Trekkin by the Firm). However, it turns out he is not so much a Star Trek fan but rather a fan of Doctor Who.

British science fiction comedy Red Dwarf is set aboard a derelict mining ship in the far future. The first episodes were made several years into the run of TNG, and there are a number of similar tropes, e.g. Rimmer is a sentient hologram (with an H on his forehead to distinguish him from humans), there is an android character, Kryten, who is trying to discover his humanity (including emotions and sexual experience) and there is also a speaking supercomputer Holly (which has gone senile due to millions of years alone in space). Unlike the Enterprise computer, Holly rarely gets things right. A number of episodes are also set on a shuttlecraft, which has to be fixed up regularly. Besides the hologram Rimmer, many episodes are set in holographic alternate realities such as the "Better than Life" game. There is also a Talkie Toaster, which might be seen as a parody of the voice activated food replicator; tractor beams and various shapeshifting characters. The Red Dwarf universe also has an equivalent to Starfleet in the Space Corps.

Its creators vowed to steer clear of robots and aliens early on, as they thought they were cliché. Robots in fact made an early appearance while aliens never have, in contrast to Trek. The latter have been replaced plotwise with G.E.L.F.s – genetically engineered life forms which could be seen as an extreme analog to Augments.

Kryten's nanobots/nanites take over Red Dwarf and steal it beginning a thirteen episode story arc, which begins at the start of season five. In the episode Nanarchy,the crew discover exactly who stole their ship, and try to communicate with the nanites, in what might be seen as a parody of Wes Crusher's unintentional release in the TNG episode "Evolution".

In the episode "Bodyswap", Rimmer and Lister swap bodies so that Rimmer can exercise Lister's body without the latter having to do any work. When Lister's body winds up in worse shape afterward, having swapped back, Rimmer tries to shift the blame by pointing out problems Lister already had, stating. "Urine should only be green if you're Mr. Spock."

In the episode "The Last Day" at the end of season 3, Mechanoid Kryten is to be replaced by a newer model and has been ordered to terminate himself. His crewmates rally round him in support, promising to reject the replacement. Astonished, Kryten remarks: "Is this the Human value you call 'friendship'?" In response, a hungover Lister replies "Don't give me the Star Trek crap, it's too early in the morning."

Also to be seen are a number of derelict ships taken from other franchises, including a Vor'cha-class ship. [10] Furthermore the scene in which the crew tries to decide which of two Listers is the real one makes it one of many series homaging "Whom Gods Destroy".

In "Back To Earth", the four main characters mention that "transporting" is a method of travel used on Star Trek. Kryten uses a Psi-Scan, an instrument analogous to a tricorder which appears in a number of other episodes.

In this season four episode "Santa Claus", Roseanne finds out that Darlene has befriended the owner of a bookstore who would like to take Darlene to a Star Trek convention with her. She tells Roseanne that she understands why she would say no, but reassures her that she and her husband are "perfectly normal people who just happen to dress up like Romulans once or twice a year."

When Brody offers to let Evan and Paige get married on one of his space tourism flights, Evan reenacts the lirpa fight between James T. Kirk and Spock from TOS: "Amok Time" with him. The discussion later leads to going through the other series to find space weddings, such as Star Trek: Deep Space Nine and Star Trek: Enterprise, which Brody says "doesn't count." Later, Evan wants his nickname to be "Tiberius," and he and Brody quibble over whether to call Sacani "Spock" or "Bones."

In the show's summer camp setting, character Sponge Harris organized a Star Trek club for some of his fellow campers. His bunkmate, Bobby Budnick, gave him a hard time about this, once jokingly calling him Spock.

In 2013, Samsung released a series of commercials to advertise their new Galaxy Gear wristwatch/phone device using clips from popular live-action shows, movies and cartoons such as Get Smart!, Dick Tracy, Predator and Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers. Both commercials show off the wrist communicator worn by Kirk in Star Trek: The Motion Picture with the first one using a clip from the movie.

Justin Lin is the executive producer of several episodes, and was one of the writers of the pilot.

Starring Marco Sanchez, seaQuest DSV featured a similar format to Star Trek; where Trek was set in space and aboard a starship, seaQuest DSV was set underwater and aboard a submarine. The visual effects, in the form of the fledgling technique of CGI, for the series were produced by visual effects companyAmblin Imaging, which was especially established for this series, counting among its staffers Robert Bonchune. Both company (for the first two seasons of Voyager) and Bonchune later worked on Star Trek, whereas Bonchune's supervisor, Michael Shea, was at the time engaged (and later married) to Star Trek art department staffer and model maker Dana White.

The series, running for three seasons, was produced by Universal Studios. Actually, the series was an unadulterated and clearcut Star Trekfranchise emulation attempt, as Universal was one of the major Hollywood studios that became increasingly envious of Paramount Pictures for its long-lived financial success it enjoyed with their Star Trek franchise. Former seaQuest production staffer Ben Betts confirmed, "They definitely wanted to have something like Star Trek. They wouldn't say that aloud, but that was what they were going for. They were trying to find Star Trek under water. Everything was there, except for the stories. They didn't have enough of a human element so they'd get caught up in the technology...kind of fall back on the technology to bail everybody out by the end of the episode. It was plain as day to people working on the show. Everything was right. They were spending the money to make the graphics look good, the CGI looked great, the sets were well lit, they had a pretty good cast...but it didn't work. It still wasn't Star Trek." (A Vision of the Future - Star Trek: Voyager, pp. 50-51, 54) Becoming a minor, obscure footnote in science fiction television history, seaQuest DSV has all but been forgotten, whereas Betts himself, like Amblin and Bonchune, went on to work for the Star Trek franchise.

In "Hide and Seek", when Milos Tezlov (played by William Shatner) appears on a seaQuest vidlink, the ID code at the bottom of the screen reads "JTK-NCC1701", referring to "James T. Kirk" and the registry number of the USS Enterprise in the classic Star Trek series. The other ID at the top is the date we shot that live video chat 1-25-1994 on Stage 17 at Universal Studios, Los Angeles. Later, when Tezlov's enemies demand the seaQuest turn him over, the ID code on the vid-link reads "WS-NC-1701A", referring to William Shatner and the newer Enterprise-A from Star Trek V: The Final Frontier and Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country.

The bridge on the seaQuest II was designed to resemble the bridge of the USS Enterprise-D from The Next Generation. (Specifically, the command column where Captain Bridger, Commander Ford, and Lieutenant O'Neill usually sat resembles the command center where Picard, Riker, and Troi usually sat.)

The chair in the holographic-projection room aboard the seaQuest II (as seen in such episodes as "Vapors" and "The Sincerest Form of Flattery") is the same kind of chair as the captain's chair from the Enterprise from Star Trek: The Motion Picture. The chair was also used in the "execution tape" in "Splashdown".

In "Dream Weaver", when the Stormer plunges to his death, he lands beside a monument to the "Nomad Probe", which was launched in 2002, designed to seek out new lifeforms, a reference to the Nomad probe featured in the classic Star Trek episode TOS: "The Changeling".

In the episode "Equilibrium", Bridger uses a small craft that is known as a "DS9 shuttle".

The sign of "The Dagger's Sheath", a club featured in the episode "Smoke on the Water", is written in the title typeface of The Next Generation.

In the episode "Weapons of War", Captain Hudson informs a Macronesian captain "Do not lecture me about treaty violations." Klingon Commander Kruge said the same thing to Admiral Kirk in Star Trek III: The Search for Spock.

The episode "The Foundation" includes several Star Trek moments: Jerry quoting Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan at a funeral, Kramer describing his katra as part of his martial arts discipline and telling Elaine that Star Trek III: The Search for Spock was better than Wrath of Khan, and George looking up and bellowing as the camera spins around him, a parody of the famous sequence from Wrath of Khan.

The bellowing-and-spinning camera sequence would be parodied again in the episodes "The Dealership" and "The Susie."

The show also featured Armin Shimerman (Quark) in the episode "The Caddie" where he played Kramer's new golf caddie, who was known as Stan the Caddie.

In one episode, main protagonist and time traveller Frank Parker was accidentally trapped in an evil alternate universe/timeline in which the USA is some kind of military/fascist regime, and he got in confrontation with a twisted, sadistic mirror version of Captain Craig Donovan who acted like some type of Gestapo-like officer and sported a slight goatee similiar to the one the Mirror Spock had in the TOS episode "Mirror, Mirror". In addition, writings in this universe were shown inverted, as if you were looking directly into a mirror.

This special aired in 1995 after the first season of Star Trek: Voyager and the third season of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, and was created by Shadoe Stevens. The car driving scene in the montage included what sounded like a type 2 phaser sound from Star Trek: The Next Generation and Star Trek: Voyager. The very end of the special contains the sound when the Enterprise-D enters warp drive in Star Trek: The Next Generation.

Set in a distant future, after a nuclear cataclysm which has destroyed human civilization as we know it, the series revolves around an Earth where magic has replaced science and is inhabited by humans and their mutated offspring, elves, trolls, gnomes and dwarfs, all at odds with each other, though with elves as the dominant (sub-)species. After an ancient evil is set to re-enter the world, an elf, elf-human hybrid and a human are sent on a quest to find a defense against this evil, forced to set aside their differences.

Witnessing the once peaceful co-existence between humans and "elves" in a distant past

In this episode the three heroes chance upon a human settlement, where its inhabitants are dead set on re-initializing human civilization as it was before the fall. In order to do this, they are collecting as many ancient artifacts as possible as they are able to, trying to reverse-engineer the science behind it, not entirely unsuccessfully as they are able to generate electricity, in a world otherwise devoid of it. One of the items they have procured is an old movie projector and what they believe to be an actual historical recording depicting some of the achievements of the ancient humans, shown in a recurrent festival. What they have actually obtained was a Super 8 film reel of Star Trek: The Motion Picture in which Captain James T. Kirk and Spock are seen in discussion aboard USS Enterprise, also fleetingly seen, and likewise taken as proof of the great achievements of ancient humans. This the settlers take as evidence that elves (mistaking Spock for one, as they, like Vulcans, have pointed ears) and humans have worked harmoniously together in a dim and distant past. Shortly after the showing the village is overrun and destroyed by trolls, its inhabitants killed and with the three heroes barely escaping with their lives. (Season 1, Episode 8)

Shown in "Utopia" was an alternate take of Scene 156 from the single reel variant of the Super 8 release, in which only Spock and Admiral Kirk were seen discussing in the officer's lounge, with Kirk entering; the theatrical cut had Doctor Leonard McCoy present in the scene as well, with Kirk and McCoy awaiting an entering Spock.

In the second episode of the sixth series, presenter Vic Reeves takes guest Liz McClarnon to the center of the stage, accompanied by the Star Trek theme. Vic then points upwards as if looking to the stars before saying "look, that one's two hundred watts!", and the two then waltz to the music.

A note card in the Weaknesses quadrant of the SWOT board Gilfoyle and Dinesh have set up on not telling Blaine his stunt calculations are incorrect says "BLAINE’S FUNERAL TELEVISED; PREEMPTS “STAR TREK: TNG” MARATHON."

Throughout the sixth episode of the fourth season, JJ is seen recording captain's logs at night about what has happened during the day. The original series theme is also briefly played at the conclusion of the episode.

SMTV Live (Saturday Morning Television Live) was a children's entertainment and sketch show broadcast on ITV1 from 1998 to 2003. One of the recurring sketches, SMTV 2099 parodied Star Trek: the three presenters, Catherine "Cat" Deeley and Anthony "Ant" McPartlin & Declan "Dec" Donnelly wore TOS-style uniforms in a set resembling the bridge of the original Enterprise. Each episode incorporated the same gag of Dec's captain drawing co-ordinates onto a transparent board, that resembled a pair of breasts.

When Ant and Dec left the show, the sketch was appropriately retitled SMTV 2099: The Next Generation.

This British sitcom, written by and starring Simon Pegg, and directed by Edgar Wright, contains frequent references to various film and television series, including Star Trek.

Not only does the bedroom of Pegg's character, Tim Bisley, have a Next Generation poster on the wall, but the shop in which he works also contains several items of Star Trek merchandise.

In the episode "Chaos", Bisley specifically makes a reference to the idea that the odd numbered Star Trekmoviesare worse than those which are even, when discussing the idea of certainties. Not only was Pegg's first appearance as Scotty in the 2009 Star Trek movie, the eleventh in the series, but he also co-wrote Star Trek Beyond, the thirteenth. This is something which he has commented on several times in interviews. [11][12]

Pegg also included a reference to Spaced in Star Trek Beyond, which he co-wrote. At one point on the USS Franklin bridge Kirk tells Spock to "skip to the end", a phrase heard a number of times throughout the series.

In the British children's show Space Pirates, there is a character called Zorst who talks about news and tells jokes. In these jokes he sometimes mentions aliens called Clingons who like clinging on to things; these are, of course, named after Klingons, though they do not look like them.

In Season 4, Episode 9, "Old Tricks, New Treats" Herb Brown & Mike Karlinger comment on Barry Weiss' glasses, which have lights on the sides and jokingly mentioning that they did not think Geordi La Forge from Star Trek was showing up at the auction.

Matt Albie (Matthew Perry) gestures at a phone and says "Ring!", and the phone rings. As Matt and Danny Tripp celebrate Matt's guess, Matt exclaims "That was some Vulcan mind meld mojo and I was right in the kitchen!"

A robot from the future arrives on the ship, tries to kill Zack to advert his descendant from causing a catastrophe that was about to happen, then sends them to the future after a compromise and they try to figure how to fix the situation. Everything parodies Star Trek, and even includes a guest appearance from George Takei as London Tipton's great-great-great-great-great grandson Rome Tipton.

Harvey mentions the Kobayashi Maru scenario when explaining to Mike why he should go avoid going to trial in the firm's annual mock trial competition. This prompts Mike to ask "You're a Trekkie?" to which Harvey proudly replies "Captain Kirk is The Man."

When Harvey asks Mike how America how we won World War II, Mike answers that "Spock didn’t let Kirk save Joan Collins from getting hit by that car." Referencing the events of TOS: "The City on the Edge of Forever". Harvey reminds Mike that they had already won and Kirk just would have changed the course of history. Mike asks if he is Spock or Kirk, Harvey tells him that he is Uhura. Mike notes that he "Walked right into it."

In one episode, the villain is, in fact, Jackson Roykirk in his heyday. What confuses this issue is the fact that one of the main characters was nicknamed Trek because he was conceived at a Star Trek convention.

The name of Great King Monsu Doreiku (大王モンス・ドレイク Daiō Monsu Doreiku), the leader of Universal Annihilation Army Warstar, the first of the three evil forces that battle the Goseigers, comes from Star Trek (スタートレック Sutā Torekku) in Japanese, as all Warstar members have names that are modifications of the Japanese names of American science fiction films. "Warstar" itself is from Star Wars.

Although stars Kurtwood Smith and Don Stark had previously appeared in Star Trek, Kelso (Ashton Kutcher) invites Red (Smith) to watch "Let That Be Your Last Battlefield" with him, Fez (Wilmer Valderama), and Hyde (Danny Masterson) in an early episode. In a sixth season episode, the mother of Kelso's illegitimate child, Brooke (Shannon Elizabeth), requests that he read a book on children written by Dr. Benjamin Spock, but Kelso quickly loses interest in it when he realizes that it's not a Star Trek novel. In the seventh season episode "Gimme Shelter", Eric (Topher Grace) and Donna (Laura Prepon) appear dressed as Spock and Uhura during a fantasy sequence.

One sketch shows Gilbert and Sullivan conceiving of a sequel to HMS Pinafore, focusing on "a ship that travels among the stars, on a mission of great enterprise."". A scene from the musical is then shown, with a singer dressed like Spock advising his (unseen) captain against peace with the Klingons and then announcing his intention to go to the Transporter room.

In the first episode of the second season, Nicola Murray instructs her advisors to "set phasers to equality"

In "Spinners and Losers" (one of the specials between seasons 2 and 3), Ben Swain calls Ollie Reeder mister Spock after inviting him to "step on the bridge of the starship government".

In the fourth episode of the third season, Phill creates a "matrix", a confusing whiteboard containing strategic info on people at the DoSAC department. Terri is represented by a picture of Uhura. Emma later describes the matrix as Phill's Klingon horoscope.

When opening the small control panel that operates several electronic systems of a caravan, Richard Hammond compared it to Star Trek.

Jeremy Clarkson, when reviewing a Honda Civic Type R, referred to the dashboard being from the Romulans. Often times, cars with electronic gadgets will be compared to Star Trek, Clarkson once saying that the sound the dashboard made was "the dilithium crystals warming up".

Jeremy Clarkson drove an Aston Martin and then a BMW M6, saying the Aston was like driving on impulse power, but the M6 was like engaging warp drive.

There were numerous other mentions of Star Trek throughout the show. Many are very subtle and easily overlooked if you're not paying attention.

On the episode World's Dumbest Partiers 6, one of the clips featured a wedding with people dressed up in costumes from
various Science Fiction franchises. Two of the people in this clip were shown wearing two Starfleet uniforms from The Wrath of Khan. One of the show's commentators commented "What's up Captain Kirk?" to this video.

In the episode "Two Guys, a Girl and a Presentation", the second in the series, Berg, one of the main characters accidently ingests four hundred times the recommended dosage of allergy medication, causing him to hallucinate that he is Kirk and is under attack by Klingons. He also hallucinates that two bystanders are Sulu and Chekov, and later, that a model of a skull and spine is McCoy, a play on McCoy's nickname "Bones". Earlier in the episode, Berg, after entering medical school, begins behaving as if he were and actual doctor and refuses to perform his part-time job as a waiter, even telling his friend "Damn it Pete, I'm a doctor, not a waiter!" in imitation of McCoy when his friend insists he do so.

When Humanity gets their first look at an actual Visitor (played by Richard Herd) on TV, one character complains "He's no ET; he doesn't even look like Mr. Spock!" On a production side-note, Gregory Jein constructed most of the studio models for the series, while the visual effects were produced by the company of future Star Trek Visual Effects Supervisor David Stipes, "David Stipes Productions".

In the second season episode "Shutdown", Dan is compared to Spock because he never shows his emotions.

In the fourth season opener, "Joint Session", senator Furlong threatens "the lawmakers in these districts are going to Vulcan death grip you to fuck", and then says "live long and fuck off", while doing a Vulcan salute and then transforming it into flipping the finger.

Warehouse 13 is a Syfy television production starring Saul Rubinek wherein the main protagonists are tasked with collecting and securing artifacts imbued with dangerous properties. One of the main characters, Pete Lattimer, is well endowed with a thorough knowledge of American popular culture, among others Star Trek which he likes to quote. He is sometimes taken aback that his counterparts are sometimes equally knowledgeable of popular culture of, again, among others Star Trek. Brent Spiner had a recurring guest role as "Brother Adrian" in the latter half of the series' run, as did Rene Auberjonois as the former, retired Warehouse agent Hugo Miller.

In the 25th and final episode of the sixth season, "Webtrek", which marks also the final episode of the series, Webster, played by actor Emmanuel Lewis dreams that he was suddenly beamed aboard the USS Enterprise-D's bridge in the 24th century. He met Worf and the two are talking about previous adventures of Webster, as this episode consists of several clips from previous Webster episodes. After Webster's joystick was repaired, he was beamed back into his bedroom on Earth in 1989.

In "Wil vs. Hedorah", the scene of Wesley Crusher getting bayoneted in the back in "Hide and Q" is played during the montage of Wil's various onscreen deaths as "preparation" for getting killed in Sharknado 2: The Second One.

One episode features Kevin and Paul watching "Spock's Brain" at the beginning of the episode, and specifically shows the scene where, as part of the landing party, Kirk and Spock are rendered unconscious by the planet's female inhabitants. This particular episode, focusing on the awkward relationships between adolescent boys and girls, then parodies the exact scene with Kevin in the role of Kirk, Paul in the role of Spock, two other boys (presumably schoolmates of Kevin) as Bones and Scotty, and Winnie and two other girls as the alien women.

Episode #11, 2nd Season 1988 "Just Between Me and You and Kirk and Paul and Carla and Becky" can be seen here.

A home video release from the World Wrestling Federation in 1992 which featured announcers Sean Mooney and "Lord" Alfred Hayes as the command crew of the starship World Wrestling Federation. Parodying The Original Series with turtleneck-style uniforms (complete with a WWF logo as their mission patch) Mooney carries on like CaptainKirk, while Hayes (an Englishman) scrambles to repair the ship in engineering like Scotty would (with a Scottish-accent, no less) as they introduce various pretaped WWF matches and interviews with WWF superstars, including one with Ric Flair and Mr. Perfect, who make a number of Star Trek allusions in their promo. The tape ends with Mooney and Hayes stuck on an unpleasant planet after beaming down while their crew take the ship (which is also shaped like the WWF logo) out of orbit and strand them there.

The two-parter "Dreamland" and "Dreamland II" features several references to Star Trek. While FBI agents Fox Mulder and Dana Scully are driving to meet a secretive contact stationed at a classified US Air Force Base in Roswell during the pre-titles sequence of part I, the usually skeptical Scully asks Mulder how they know that their contact's supposedly extensive knowledge of alien life is not "derived exclusively from reruns of Star Trek?"

The plot of the two-parter concerns a tear in the space/time continuum that is repeatedly referred to as a "warp" and, after Mulder first hears this name and then questioningly repeats it, a character who has knowledge about the anomaly replies with the phrase, "Beam me up, Scotty".

Mulder as a child

In the pre-titles sequence of part II, a home movie reel of Mulder's family is shown, in which a young Fox Mulder is seen wearing a blue Starfleet uniform from Star Trek: The Original Series and pointed Vulcan ears, both much like Spock. He also carries a toy weapon that looks similar to a phaser.

During the first scene after the opening credits in the episode "Hollywood A.D.", Wayne Federman, a producer and screenwriter doing research for a forthcoming movie based on Mulder and Scully, reveals to the agents that he was told by their FBI superior, Assistant Director Walter Skinner, that Mulder's usual initial slant was "a little Star Trekky" and adds, "[it] is the exact vibe I'm looking for, for this thing I'm doing."

The penultimate scene of the episode "Jump the Shark", in which the Lone Gunmen die, pays homage to Spock's death in Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan. The Lone Gunmen make a similar sacrifice to Spock, by sealing themselves in with an airborne virus behind an airtight firedoor and, like Spock's discussion with Kirk through a transparent radiation barrier, they speak with close friends Jimmy Bond and Yves Adele Harlow through a pane of glass in the sealed door, shortly before they die.
